Hi, I'm new to this site today, I have started taking Xenical a little over a week ago, I am well overweight and really excited to lose it!
I used to be a slimming world consultant and have lost five stone twice and put it back on in the last 8 years !!!
I recently had a hysterectomy 6 months ago and lobbed loads of weight on since then, this has been really getting me down recently and decided enough was enough, luckily the doc decided to take pity on me and gave me xenical, I lost 5 pounds in the first two days, but nothing since nearly 2 weeks later, not going to lose hope though am determined this time !!!
would love to hear from you all

Hello there! How have you changed your diet? For me, I had to stop drinking alcohol, drinking coffee and uping my intake of water to (now) a gallon a day (it helps to flush out fat and toxins). I would go talk to your doc and pharmacist about a proper diet plan and seeing how that and exercise will fit into your schedule...

I work in a pharmacy and we won't let anyone have the OTC Xenical called "Alli" without them knowing all the details of the side effects and the importance of making dietary changes.

I hope it works for you and that you don't give up! A positive mind set works wonders for me and I have to remind myself that the weight didn't come on fast, so it won't go as fast.

You can do it! :cheerleader:

Welcome to the site! I don't know much about weight loss medication, but remember there is no "magic pill" and it's still going to take a lot of hard work. This is, there's this great group of folks I've heard about who are wonderful with support and motivation...

Glad you joined us!
